Nash insisted to Bo that he wanted to press charges against Antonio. "Jessica's sick and he won't let me see her," he said. Bo explained that as Antonio is Jessica's husband, he can call the shots. Talia came in with a letter they had received from One Pure People. Bo read it aloud to Talia and Antonio (via speaker phone). They felt that this most recent attack was directed towards Bo.

Someone wrote "Loser" on Henry's locker. Henry began to clean his locker, pretending not to be upset. He remained convinced that Britney wasn't behind it, and in fact he immediately gave Cole, Starr and Langston the brush off when they tried to befriend him. Britney cornered Starr in Mrs. McBain's classroom and asked for a truce. Starr wasn't interested in being friends. Langston suggested to Henry that he show Britney that he doesn't want to take her crap. Henry pondered that advice. He stormed out, got into his driver's ed car and downed a handful of pills. Britney slipped into the passenger seat and start hinting that Henry should help her study for their Hamlet quiz. Starr asked Brit to get out of the car. She refused. Cole and Starr piled into the back seat and Henry started the car and drove off.

Marcie woke up late, but Michael took care of everything and gave his wife breakfast in bed. Then he gave her a necklace (available at sears.com) and read her a poem/letter he'd written.

Natalie, Antonio and Viki hovered around Jessica's room. Viki wasn't sure that Antonio kicking Nash out of the hospital had been a good idea. Natalie and Antonio both blamed Jessica's illness on Nash. Antonio told them that Nash is in love with Jessica. He explained that he was keeping Nash away from Jess so she could concentrate on getting well. Nash snuck into Jess' room. Viki immediately asked him to turn around and he left under the watchful eyes of Antonio and Natalie. Michael arrived with Jessica's test results. The news wasn't good.

John met Blair and Dorian at the Chicago police precinct. John asked Detective Morris if he could interview Ms. Bromley, the woman from the adoption agency. They brought her in and began the interrogation. She denied having met Todd anywhere other than at the police precinct. Blair claimed she was lying. John asked Ms. Bromely for an alibi for the time Blair claimed Bromley was meeting Todd and Blair. John reprimanded Blair for interfering in the interrogation. John didn't want any more help from Blair, and told her, "There is nothing more for you to do." Blair remained determined to find Todd before returning to Llanview.

Rex made it clear to Tate and Adriana that they had to publicly deny their relationship. The press had named them "Tatetiana." Rex taunted Tate, clearly implying that he knows Tate is hiding something. (Rex met Tate's ex-wife yesterday.) Rex accused Tate of using Adriana as a beard and brought up Nora's former husband Daniel, a closeted homosexual/murderer. Adriana thought Rex was nutty and she went to get ready for the mall appearance with Tate.

In Chicago, Blair and Dorian stayed in the room where Todd had been hurt. Blair refused to return to Llanview. "Who would set Todd up like this?" Blair asked. Blair told Dorian she was convinced that Spencer was behind Todd's situation. She called Evangeline and then John. John agreed to come to Chicago to help her.

John told Marty about his visit with Cole. However, Cole had come by the firing range during target practice. "Probably not the place for a kid to come by," John said wisely. Marty was surprised, and quite happy, that Cole had opened up to John. Marty was hopeful that Cole's troubled days (his steroid use) were behind him. Miles showed up and needed to talk to Marty because he felt responsible for Todd's disappearance; he had given Spencer's letter to Todd. Marty didn't think that made any sense. Marty assured Miles that Todd's situation wasn't his fault.

Langston and Starr worried about Henry's mental state. Henry was on his computer writing a plan for his life with Britney. Britney, as we remember from yesterday, thinks Henry is a bona fide loser. Cole showed up and the girls brought him up to speed on what had happened between Britney and Henry. Britney arrived. Cole blasted her for hurting Henry. Henry showed up. "I have something for you and it might hurt," he said as he began to take something out of his pocket. It was just a gift, however (not a gun). Britney was rude to him yet again, and she left. Henry said that people don't like him. "Only a loser would think that someone like Britney would like someone like me," he said as he stormed off. Langston, Starr and Cole worried about Henry so Starr called him. Henry heard his cell ring but didn't pick up. Instead, he crushed Britney's gift in his hand until he bled. Henry returned to his computer and continued blogging. "I'm calmer now. I just have to stick to the plan," he wrote.

Antonio, Viki, Natalie and Miles wondered why Jessica had collapsed. Jessica woke up and was convinced it was just a bug. Natalie asked Jessica if she was beginning to have feelings for Nash. Jessica said no, but added that Nash was baby Bree's father. Natalie reminded Jessica that "you are Antonio's wife. And I'd hate for this guy to be messing things up for you." Antonio returned to the room and reminded his wife how important she was to him. Nash ran into Antonio at the nurse's station. "What are you doing here?" Antonio asked.

Evangeline confessed to Layla that she was disappointed she wasn't pregnant. Layla thought maybe Evangeline should put the needs of her biological clock on hold. Blair called Evangeline and asked her to call if she heard from Todd. Vangie said she would. Then she began worrying about Todd. Layla thought it was a good thing that Cris and Evangeline weren't going to be parents. Layla suggested that Evangeline "take care of Vang for a while."

Rex popped in on Layla and Adriana. He played it cool despite Adriana's apologizes and attempts to get past the Tate-declares-his-love-on-THE VIEW debacle. Tate showed up and apologized for his behavior on THE VIEW. He tried to explain that he was beginning to have feelings for Adriana. Rex met Paula, the ex-Mrs. Tate Harmon. Paula explained their Las Vegas elopement, followed by Tate's baseball career. Paula let Rex know that fraud was listed on the divorce decree as the reason for their split. Rex's face lit up: Tate is gay!

Henry asked Starr and Langston if they had seen Britney, and he wondered if everyone knows he wrote Brit's history paper. The girls couldn't believe that Henry still likes her. "She's a two-faced bitch trying to take advantage of you," Langston said. A lovesick Henry gave Brit a copy of the history paper. Once she had it in her little hand, she tore into him. In a nutshell, she called him a loser. Eyes filling up with tears, Henry told Starr and Langston that Britney was going to get an A and he'd go back to being an invisible loser.

John cleaned his gun as Cole paid him a visit. Cole thanked him for the letter of recommendation; he had made the baseball team. He was also grateful to John for coming by and helping him and Marty celebrate Patrick's birthday. Cole asked John for girl advice and watched him take some target practice.

Miles phoned Jordan, who told him what a lovely time she had had with him. He asked for details on his performance. "You are a quick learner," she told a slightly blushing Miles. Then Miles dropped in on Marty to boast about his night with Jordan (though he didn't share all of it) and assured Marty that he was now able to meet new people. He reported back to Jordan that he was certain Marty would be his. A green-eyed Miles watched when John dropped in on Marty, who was quite delighted to see him.

An exasperated Blair demanded that the Chicago police do their best to find Todd. "This is a big city," the detective exclaimed. "This is a crack house," he added. Dorian rushed in, saying, "I'm here to take you home." "I'm not leaving without Todd," Blair replied. Dorian tried to explain why Todd wasn't there. Blair was convinced that something bad had happened in that room. The detective returned: the blood Blair found indeed belonged to Todd.

Michael was relieved to learn from Rex that Todd hadn't found out anything about his son. Rex assured Michael that Todd and Blair had been banished from Chicago and that all roads would lead Todd to that "phony death certificate." Michael headed back to the hospital and Rex continued to do online research about Tate. He eventually found a little tidbit: Tate had been married.

Adriana began to open up to Dorian about Rex; she was worried that he hadn't returned any of her calls. Dorian thought Adriana was working too hard to prove to Rex that there was nothing between her and Tate. Dorian reminded her daughter that "Rex adores you." Dorian shared — or shall we say gushed — that she had been seeing Clint. She would not go so far as to say they were in love.

Jessica explained to Antonio how she ended up at the quarry the day of Jamie's custody hearing. However, she then keeled over with a killer headache. She said she had run into Nash. "It was fate," she said. Jessica kept getting dizzy but insisted on telling Antonio about Nash. Antonio kept putting words in Jessica's mouth. "He has feelings for you, Jess," he said. Jessica collapsed in Antonio's arms before she could continue telling him the truth. She was admitted to the hospital and Michael began running tests. Jessica's family gathered at the hospital and started to look very worried.

A dapperly dressed Nash ran into Vincent at the bar. Nash remained certain that Jessica would be leaving Antonio to start a future with him. Vincent wished him the best as Nash waited and waited and waited.

Natalie told Viki she was going to be working for Buchanan Enterprises. Viki asked Natalie if she was ready to get involved in another relationship, perhaps with Vincent. Natalie dodged the question, saying she was looking forward to working with Asa.

Blair rang Viki and asked if she'd heard from Todd. Viki promised she get back to Blair if she did. An exasperated Blair tried to think through what might have happened. She used that old detective trick of rubbing a pencil over a piece of paper, thereby revealing the address where Todd had gone. Blair headed to said address and gingerly entered the room. "Todd, are you in here?" she said. She saw blood on the floor and then looked down the barrel of a gun. "Get up slowly," demanded a man's voice. He turned out to be a detective who encouraged Blair to leave. "This is a dangerous part of town," he said. Blair left. They took a sample of Todd's blood (or what Blair thought was his blood) and were going to test it at the lab. Blair, we soon saw, didn't left the building. She returned to the room and stared at the blood on the floor. While talking to herself, she found an old photo of herself and the kids, and realized Todd had been there. "Oh Todd, where are you?" she wondered aloud.

Nash and Jessica made love in her office. The two got dressed and Jessica immediately put on her guilty face and began talking about her husband and two kids. Nash agreed that people would be hurt, but in the long run it was the right thing that Jessica tell Antonio the truth.

Cris and Evangeline were relieved to learn that she wasn't pregnant. They speculated on what they would have done if she had been. Cris mentioned Todd and the two began arguing. Evangeline said their breakup baggage was preventing them from being friends.

Cole and Starr shared a slow dance under the watchful eyes of Brittany and Langston. Langston was happy that Brittany was on the sidelines. She wondered what Henry would do if he learned Brittany was at the party while he was at home writing a paper for her. Starr tried to explain to Cole her frustration with wanting to kiss him, but knowing they could get in trouble if her parents found out they had been at the same party. Starr begged him "to let go of me" and left the party. Henry called Brittany and said that someone (Langston) had sent him a photo of her kissing Garrett. Henry asked her if she was using him and proceeded to delete her paper from his computer. A furious Brittany called him a skid mark and hung up.

Talia asked Antonio about Jessica and told him that Antonio could "unload on her." Antonio assured Talia that the problem was not with Jessica. Talia said she was just checking in with her boss/friend. Antonio said the first thing he needed to do "was to get rid of Nash." He explained that his main purpose is to protect "my girls." Talia hoped that Antonio wasn't planning on using violence to get rid of Nash. She left and bumped into Jessica while on the way to see Jamie. Jessica returned the necklace that Antonio had given her. She said that she had to return everything he had given her, and started to tell him about what had happened at the quarry.

Blair woke up from her nap and couldn't find Todd. Meanwhile, Todd had been stabbed. Blair called Starr hoping to learn that Todd had called her. (He hadn't.) In a disgusting apartment, Todd pulled himself to where he heard the sound of a baby (possibly Todd Jr.) crying. Todd knocked over the crib, only to find a tape recorder. Todd managed to answer his cell phone (it was Blair) but could only make "I'm in pain" sounds. Blair panicked.
